brussels is a small city it's a new kind of provinces but that's on this earth. when you know a bit further about it's brussels is really the place. this is where the business is taking place this is where they just station is dealt i think there was the figure is around eighty percent of all ages stations which are. touching direct life of european citizens is actually initiated here just. if you look at. epicenter of political power in europe. you see the european

commission on the one side next to the council of the e.u. . and all around that's where you find lobby offices most of them belonging to big multinational corporations and you find them also in all of the side streets all over to the european parliament and beyond. the finance and the lobby at borders of large corporations who find industry lobby groups and their lobby operations being in office traders from offices in that area. two thousand five hundred lobby structures are based in brussels fifteen thousand lobbyists the second biggest blobby industry in the world only washington d.c. has been here. so that european union legislation is as complicated as it goes through a lot of stages it always starts with the european commission they take. new initiatives for the for legislation for policies and then it goes through the

institutions the parliaments the council of ministers. and from the moments that the european commission takes its very first steps in developing nearly sleigh tional new policies industry wants to be there to influence its.

i mean the restrictions so we want to have the possibility to go and work. for the private sector where i would decide myself. what the way to sell it that much more on. something. and then i just all the business around the open situation. started. to be lobbyists.

you know we. everybody believe the bad. the real makers the institutions and the situations in the european union is about the commission the council of ministers and the european parliament but there is also. another world behind that which is how to influence the institutions to make a text to give a good idea to. propose amendments to trying to fine tune the text depending on the interest of the people and when you're to push. lobbying is it was originally in vision is a good thing no lawmaker can be an expert in all the fields that he or she has to deal with. and so they rely on other people giving them advice.

but lobbying went from their field of expertise into what is more properly called hired guns so you now have people who may not be an expert in anything they're dealing with but they're paid for by clients who want them to pursue specific objectives what makes them so effective is many of these hired guns will be what what we call revolving door abusers and these will be people who were in governments then come out of government and are hired by the very same people that had business pending before them when they were in government and the mid ninety's we had come across so many examples of your policies that were basically captured by industry and industry lobbying was felt was really a fundamental problem here the influence of industries is excessive and we decided

to set up a group to document examples and to start developing a strategy to rollback this excessive influence that's how it started this. one day and then the summer of one thousand nine hundred three i remember a fax came in on a fax machine in the office. and it came from the south of france. from the local environmental group. this group was fighting against a motorway that was planned to go through a valley in the area they lived in the valley of us a collage of can you very important to the area a very beautiful area and. the group asked if we knew more about the role of the european union. and specifically the european commission in this motorway

project. so we started looking into this we discovered that this motorway project was part of something called the trans european networks. the transfer p and that works was the biggest infrastructure projects in history with the estimated budget of four hundred billion euro. runs from sweden came up with another of the film there was an influential lobby group behind this and they asked us you know about the iraqi the european round table of industrialists. i don't know. i started digging for more information about the iraqi. i went to our archive and i didn't find anything. i started diving into the alien world of the business press newspapers like the financial times the economist german business newspapers and we found a reference to

a new report that had been published shortly before called reshaping europe. that's one of the rather interesting and we altered this reports at the european the round table at quarters. i wrote on the request mentioning as the purpose of research. i did not believe i would get anything but a few days later a big brown envelope arrived in my letter box. please booklets are inside missing links missing networks and receiving your. i take the first two publications going through them something strange about them somehow they look so familiar. euro tunnel. scanning. peyronie's corridor. i go to the archive.

the t.m. projects by the commission. the papers compared him to come forth. a striking similarity. the projects are almost identical. mission seems to have copy paste of the year two proposals. wealthy british style. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy

with max cons or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report on r t. is paolo was the envy of ambrose he had good reason to trust no one. his body was found on the floor of his huge empty house. but did he die of natural causes. the mystery of stalin's death on notes. to some people the extreme cold is the chilling threat to life or imminent death it's a cooling if you look you can see that the water is autoroutes and my body feels really warm now this is good for you. they plunge into icy water to make themselves stronger you can't get used to the cold if you can tolerate it and you can struggle with. people snow nice pictures of frost.

surviving the cold or the ability. they've been living this way since the seventeenth century. their rituals are strict. their communities are recently to. be clearly missed english between their old. and the alien. and guarding their family and things in the trash. so. now i'm really curious reshaping europe. meeting and doubling is mentioned forty five c.e.o.'s all from multinational companies representing billions of euros of turnover. companies like fiat's the farce british petroleum.

nestlé siemens shell unit lever and many others all of them supporting what is in this book. the authors free c.e.o.'s. showroom or no. armor and this is a decker. living in the netherlands a new vista decker he was the head of philips one of the largest companies in the country. good enough i was the head of volvo a car producing company. and showman nor was the head of lee honest as are all very large french automotive national. so the authors of this report were three c.e.o.'s from some of the biggest companies in europe it was a political manifesto written by this industry leaders.

oh it was so stunning was that these descry c.e.o.'s boards would sit down and actually write. a report that was a detail set of recommendations for how to change the face of europe. and. europe and so on. i finished my job in the commission in april nineteenth one thousand. and ninety decided that maybe suppressed place is actually where the money is so i went to europe in banking federation. and i started to learn to be an openness to.

interest. in europe. because to be i have worked a. long time nine years in the open banking for duration and i started also to discover an additional word to europe which was. international trade. commission. the least here if. thank you for freedom. but you know our industries. yeah i mean if you obviously need to have a lot of contacts you probably find a figure of five hundred person which i will keep in my job. to. educate a few very good. commitment. i mean my job i describe it as

a network as a fascinating time as an ambassador and from want to be an ambassador you have to know who you have to talk. to i can say that i will present around eighty percent of all services exporters and investors. as a turnover. let's say fifty percent of the g.d.p. of european union. i don't really believe in two. it's part of it but most of the time you will provoke chants and then it's going to be up to you to see the opportunity when the chances that. in december one thousand nine hundred three the n.-g. o. network i worked for had its annual meeting and the meeting was to take place in brussels. we were very impressed by what we had found out about a year to heat and its influence that time there were no academic studies to show

anything about the power of these large multinational companies on new policies. we decided that this was the perfect opportunity to call for attention on the role of the year to. well we brainstorm about what to do and we decided to do something a little provoking. the night before we were at a press release and in the early morning we went to the ear to the office. and one of us rang the doorbell and told the secretary that's here's a student looking for some documents and when the door opened we all ran up the stairs quickly and we all managed to get into the office that way. i remember very well i was at some meeting. in the morning so i think it was mid

morning i came into the office and found banners hanging around the office and lots of strange faces around so i said what's what's happening will somebody please tell me what's going on and they said oh we've come to occupy your building and. possibly they wanted a confrontation possibly they wanted me to ring up the police have the police come in through the mail but it didn't seem to be a good idea at all indeed finally some reason but we had an office lunch so i took everybody my people out to lunch and left and then. we were surprised by the reaction that we got from the sea they went off into a room and talked about it apparently and decided to leave. and what we did was using the your t. is priceless we faxed the press release to the international media. we expected

that's the occupation of this very shadowy able to very powerful business lobby group which really interested media. but things went a little bit differently. i think we talked to one newspaper and there was a radio program that was interested before the rest that was silent. and that we didn't know when the t.v. stuff would come back. that's on the tables that were position papers and reports lying around but it was also a very neatly organized archive everything sort it's. so we decided to move to be fast and copy as much as possible. in those documents where letters from the year two and the months from the year two to european governments and to the european commission and i would responses. and it really showed the degree of access that they had an incredible influence and it

was it was clear from those documents. so when we tracked back the history of that your team with phones but the start in the early days. from the commission the the member of the commission who was really key was a man called a belgian called steve. he had diplomatic business background and he could see the need he said if i want to talk to european industry who do i talk to. what i've heard out of commission over in just the insufficient gone in with the commission. the economy grow. richer existed reservation with. the fetish is of interest

that i would say i know for sure that but not at the level of the. sponsor for individual business and i felt that we were missing. and so we decided to set up a group of industrious rich better be cared vidyarthi so as to have the capacity to listen through the c.e.o. . there were the and yelling who run the fia finished in a booth with the decker who rammed phillips in the no that i. was paid given how much who run volvo in sweden people from siemens and the big german chemical companies the french spaniards then the british. small number of people who ran. the biggest companies in europe and were ready to talk about

big policy issues with those people who were in charge of the european government. and then when they need. a visionary president of the commission by the role they find dillo is thinking in entirely the same terms so why don't they get together and pool their ideas that's a breakthrough read. and a facilitate that's probably a good a good way to put me as a description not being is it only is. understood as a bit of the dirty with what is just networking just contact between human beings. to make up. the world is very small actually as

a people we have to reach out actually at the end of the day it's becoming smaller and smaller if you know the right person actually you know it's going to be about a hundred person keep us and the rest are moving around in brussels talking about. the crazed companies are global. and therefore the american companies the chinese companies the indian companies the time when these companies are actually my my allies we are working together for the same purpose which is to open up the market. in one thousand nine hundred three was the year when the european union was born. to us and have been sold as a political project. of these letters that we had found in

december point is in a totally different direction. again a master plan behind it. like with the tea and projects. written by the iraqi. prefer the iraqi and the european commission were meeting on a regular basis. in. turn was amazingly jovial and informal. all that went on in complete secrecy. and the european commission work hand in hand. and nine hundred eighty four missing links was published and immediately after the european commission set up a working group with the iraqi on exactly this topic generally in my. nine hundred

eighty five this is decker c.e.o. philips presents his europe one thousand nine hundred and his action plan for the single market. ten days later chuckle or new president of the european commission gives a speech about the single market in the european parliament which sounds like the echo of decker speech done to me in india. in june one thousand nine hundred five from your coal fields vice president of the commission published a famous single market white paper a copy paste of the ticker planned. and
